It feels like we’ve been waiting an age for this remarkable looking semi-modular synthesizer to move beyond the synth shows and make itself available. We first saw it at NAMM 2018 but now Radikal believes the time is right to set the DELTA CEP A loose on an unsuspecting world. DELTA CEP A This is […]
Dreadbox has released a comprehensive glimpse of a new synthesizer that we’re presuming we’ll see at Superbooth this week. It’s the semi-modular analogue NYX V2. NYX V2 This new and enhanced version builds on the look and the functionality of the original and appears to push it into deeper directions. It still has the doubling […]
Soma Labs is bringing their much anticipated Pulsar-23 drum machine to Superbooth in a couple of weeks. They’ve just released a video on YouTube to give us a flavour of what it’s about and to give us our first look at the finished product. It’s orange and awesome. Pulsar-23 I’ve been excited by the concept […]
Moog has released another synth and you know what that means? Yes indeed, we get treated to another awesomely trippy introductory video that’ll blow your mind and remind you that Moog is so much more than sound and electronics. It’s a lifestyle, an aspirational state of being, an attitude and asthetic that seems slightly otherworldly […]

Birdkids have been working on what they believe to be the synthesizer they’ve always dreamed of making. All their work in modular synthesis so far has brought them to this point and now they are ready to invite people to preorder the RAVEN synthesizer. RAVEN I seem to remember it was also the name of […]
Semi-modular synthesizers have become a bit of a thing. As Eurorack modular has rocketed in popularity it makes sense for synthesizer manufacturers to fold in a bit of that CV/Gate voltage controlled goodness. A semi-modular will play perfectly well by itself, but patch it into some friends for a whole other synthesis experience. Here’s my […]
One of the more interesting devices to come out of NAMM this year is the Microvolt 3900 from Pittsburgh. It’s quite a different vibe from the stalwarts of American Eurorack and is beautiful, smooth and sounds fabulous. They are now coming off the production line and will be shortly arriving into the sticky hands of […]
There’s always something special released around Moogfest but with a week to go the Moog Grandmother is an unexpected delight. While it’s a shame to steal Moog’s thunder it’s definitely created a buzz. The look and the colour have caught everyone’s attention.
